And if you want sl to run smoothly, go get a better video card.It’s really not rocket science. You could get a decent one for about 150 now. The prices have come down.

Anyway, if you want to talk about fumbling, let’s talk about SL. I haven’t given up on SL whatever. I’ve even tiered up!

But I fear that 1.7 is going to break it. Be, possibly, the peak of it. If they don’t fix stuff. Game’s no good if you can move and can’t see.

Someone on the SL Forums referred to those unhappy with 1.7 as “whiner noobs.” Typical attitude of several on the forums. But I do know this much: If they don’t fix it, this game is a goner. Gotta give them time; more time than usual, apparently. So I’m not giving up. Nonetheless, this particular update is a pretty bad one to be going through, at this stage of the game.

Even worse, some people actually seem to HOPE tol drive others away. They simply don’t like the “masses” coming in, with all those typical mass expectations – you know, like equal opportunity for everyone. Masses who supposedly fail to take into account the “unique specialness” of SL as it was before all of us arrived.

I don’t see any dichotomy whatsoever with putting into place systems that enable equal opportunities for everyone, while still maintaining the friendliness and politeness that epitomizes virtually all SL employees. Even accessibility to the Lindens needn’t disappear entirely, or even substantially, due to increasing population.

There are many vocal players who are doing their dead-level best to drive off anyone who doesn’t agree with their views of things, and no comment is ever too low, too insulting, or too stupid, to that end. (Which drives off readers just by reading them.) Unfortunately, those views often reflect – or directly express – the desire that the game NOT grow if it means such simple concepts as equal opportunity must accompany it.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume the Lindens want the game to grow; they want more residents; and they want more premium accounts. 1.7 isn’t helping it. The Lindens also fumble big-time (and virtually criminally) in their handling of the forums, and that one’s biting them on the butt worse than they probably realize.

It’s my understanding too that Randy got Fired and Tigger quit before she could get fired. That’s just hearsay though.

Paraphrased Randy Farmer quote of the day “I support Tigger 100% since she is my employee and I do not care that you are the customer and have a valid concern/complaint.”
